tiny waves

non-binary, disabled, big on cetaceans, intersectional politics (mainly about resistance, rather than just horrible facts), and dramatic posts about mental heath. Too old for Tumblr (30+), yet here I am.

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

The Nazi Myth Behind Olympics Gender Verification Policies

The story of Heinz Ratjan has been used to justify gender testing at the Olympics—but we've gotten it all wrong.

[ghosthierophant]

#there have already BEEN black cis women forced to take genetic tests because their athletic competence is deemed ‘suspicious’#and then upon discovering that they have hyperandrogenism they have to take medication to lower their T levels in order to participate#its already happening!!!!!!!!#did you know pcos can cause levels of testosterone unacceptable in the olympics? but its exempt from their rules#because the IOC pick and choose which women get to compete and which women arent ‘real women’ & get booted#its rotten from the root!!!!!

Just had a nap and dreamt that there were a big discourse in the never nude community about if they should be called 'never nudes' or 'forever dressed' because "we should focus on things we have and and do rather than on things we lack"

Watching 90210 while being ill and this show has the weirdest fucking celebrity guests

[thousandtinywaves]

There's something very comforting about that i can be away from tumblr for fucking ages, and then i come back and reblog a post about manhating and immediately there's someone liking it. Like thank you tumblr, never change.

Also, i have the worst flare up ive had in forever, still getting over pneumonia and niw i have food poisoning on top of that. I feel so bored and lonely, but socialising even online is just too exhausting. So bored of feeling so ill now!!!! If anyone reading this have nothing better to do, please send me funny or cute or interesting (but not interesting in a way that requires a functioning brain) things and expect no amswer. I'm so fun to be around. The sun is shining. I'm hiding under a blanket

god bless doechii and chappell roan for hating men as public as they are. literally we've needed this for years

[killrockstar]

‼️‼️‼️

[ecothroat]

[ID: two screenshots of text. the first, about chappell roan, reads: ““I'm never dating a man again," she tells me bluntly. “I'm not attracted to them, I don't like having sex with them, I don't think they understand me, I don't think they make good art.””

the second screenshot is about doechii and reads: “Though she did say that having bad music taste is also a red flag for her, Doechii revealed that being a "straight man" was hers. "Strike one, you're a man. And you're heterosexual," she said.” End ID]

The solution to homelessness is housing.
